Step 7: Assemble

Step 8: Take control

Connect a carabiner from the dog leash to your dog's collar, and you're all set! You'll have waste bags when you need them conveniently tucked insi...

Controlling your dog has never been so easy! Simply plug your pup into this paracord leash, and let the Xbox 360 controller do the rest. Move up, down, left, and right with the joysticks. Fire missiles and magical spells with your triggers, access the dogwalking menu by hitting select, or hold down the Xbox button to reset or turn off your dog.

The vibrating "rumble" capability has been replaced with a far more practical "doggy poop bag" function. Though this leash is completely functional paracord may not be suitable as a leash for larger dogs.

Step 1: Materials + controller breakdown

I used a broken XBOX controller for my dog leash. There were 7 screws on the underside holding the controller together, with one hiding under sticker.

When all screws are removed the controller can be easily pried apart.

Step 2: Remove vibration motors

This controller had 2 vibration motors. These were removed to make space for the dog waste bags, they also made the controller much lighter.

These motors were plugged into the controller board and were easily unplugged. I saved these motors for use on a future project.

Step 3: Size waste bag area

To fit the dog waste bags inside the controller some of the internals would need to be removed.

I found these dog waste bags at my local pet store. They usually come in small rolls and are inexpensive.

Step 4: Cut controller board

The bags almost fit inside the controller, but the controller board would need to be modified to accommodate the bags. Using a rotary tool with a cutting wheel a portion of the controller board was removed.

Terrible idea! Now anytime you want to play Xbox the dog gets over excited and you have to take it out for a walk! Although there is double side to it if you lose your controller! (I actually love the idea).
